Kyneton Transition Hub

The Kyneton Transition Town initiative is an outcome of the 2010 Kyneton Conference hosted by Kyneton Connections. The Kyneton Conference, attended by over 100 residents, provided opportunities to explore and present future visions for Kyneton. One of the conference outcomes was the idea of developing Kyneton into a “greener” town. Some conference participants committed to forming a working group to implement the ideas discussed as well as other ideas related to sustainability.

As a result of further meetings, the working group has decided to name the group “Kyneton Transition Hub” and follow the steps to transition as outlined in the Transition Town concept.

The aim of the group is to make the Kyneton and surroundings community stronger, happier and more resilient as we deal with the impacts of peak oil and climate change.
